Smakkyoface saidThe Spice Girls were the highlight of the show. People that weren't 90s kids will never understand their impact.

I know!!...i got so excited!!...they put a smile on my face!!...

I might be a little biased but I didn't hear the crowd scream as much as when they heard the intro to wannabe. It seems everyone was bored until they came out.

Exactly!!...they got excited...i was out and turn the TV on at the right time...when the taxis came out!!..i would have been sooooo mad to missed them!!!...that was the most aniticipated act i think...

Did anyone else notice NBC's pre-closing coverage of the past 17 days included extensive coverage of the women who performed but, with the exception a small segment on Bolt and a lot of Michael Phelps, included almost no male athletes and almost nothing related to field and track (except Bolt)? So many athletes that didn't even really get recognition in my opinion.

I enjoyed a lot of it --- even The Spice Girls looked surprisingly good -- the show was colorful and fun. The John Lennon tribute with "IMAGINE" was incredible. The whole show did seem to go on, and on, and ON...but a vast improvement over the opening ceremonies. Looking forward to see what Rio does with the games in 2016.

So Sochi is in a part of Russia that does not get snow. Sigh...that seems really wasteful to build all of that stuff for winter games in an area that does not naturally get snow. What do they plan to do with all of that stuff after the games? The news mentioned that they estimate that they will be spending $50 billion for this.

All I know is that I have one new atheletic hero who is habitating the realm of Michael Jordan right now, a white American boy named Michael Phelps! This man has set a record that has never been set in Olympic history! Do you people understand how extraordinary that is? I don't care what color he is, this Michael Phelps guy is a warrior, a champion of the first order! I want to collect everything I can regarding this guy's career in the Olympics. Oh my God, a white American boy has my dick hard for his atheletic awesomeness! Damn! I'm sorry, I'm too emotional right now. I just can't contain my respect for this guy right now. He is awesome! Michael Phelps. Nice.
